		It was clearly based on the successful wartime Avro Lancaster bomber, one of Chadwick's designs and the Lancaster derivative the Avro Lincoln, which was the then current ASW aircraft.
		Avro was a British aircraft manufacturer, well known for planes such as the Avro Lancaster which served in World War II.
		The Avro Shackleton AEW 2 was developed from the Shackleton Maritime Patrol aircraft, itself derived from the Avro Lancaster bomber which saw widespread use in World War Two.

		On 11 February 1953, a story on the project was leaked to the Toronto Star along with images of the Omega design, apparently in order to gain further funding (a strategy widely employed in the US at the time, known as policy by press release).
		Avro was convinced that the concept was still workable, and proposed a new program for major rework of the propulsion and control system.
		The Avro VZ-9-AV Avrocar was a "dead end" in VTOL design, according to Russell Lee, curator at the National Air and Space Museum, yet its technological innovations have intrigued other designers.

		She was issued to 203 Squadron in December 1958 and coded F. WR974 was badly damaged landing at Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, on the 18th of August 1959 and was repaired on site by Fairey Aviation of Canada during the period November 1959 to June 1960.
		WR982 was then issued to 203 Squadron and coded G. In November 1961 she was sent to Avro at Langar for Phase II update, and was retained for Phase III Trial Installation work from 26th January 1962 and was handed over to the MoA Air Fleet.
		On the 4th of August 1967 she was allotted to MinTech on loan for Viper (with water methanol) take-off trials and clearance of the radar altimeter at the A&AEE.

	Saunders-Roe SR.53 Information
		The SR-53 itself was a sleek aircraft with a sharply pointed nose, delta-like wing, and a T-tail.
		By September 1953 the programme to develop these aircraft came under scrutiny due to cost cuts, and the Avro 720 was abandoned, although it seemed almost ready to fly at this point.
		One of the reasons for preferring the SR.53 was although the aircraft was developmentally behind, its use of hydrogen peroxide as an oxidiser was viewed as less problematic than the Avro 720's use of liquid oxygen.

		The Viper's radiator is squarer than the Hisso and has a round hole in it above the propellor.
		The Viper's exhaust manifold is also smaller and a slightly different shape than that on the Hisso.
		According to this they had 6 Bristol F2b's and the rest were AVRO 504's.

		Others changes were increased fuel tankage, deletion of the dorsal gun turret and the fitting of an improved cockpit canopy.
		Further upgrades included the fitting of Autocyclus exhaust trail detector for "sniffing" submarines running on their diesel engines and the fitting of a pair of Viper turbojets to improve takeoff performance.
		The last MR Shackletons were withdrawn from RAF service in 1971.

	Saunders-Roe SR.53
		Saunders-Roe and Avro each won contracts to build prototypes for a evaluation, with Avro producing the Type 720 and SARO the SR.53.
		Although the Avro 720 was ready to fly earlier than the SR.53, it was kept grounded because the RAF wanted both flying at the same time for evaluation.
		The 8,000 lb (3630 kg) Spectre 5A rocket motor was common to both aircraft; but the relative positions of the jet and rocket motors were reversed, the turbojet being the lower power plant in the SR.177.

	Canada's Air Force, Aircraft: Westland Wapiti
		In 1924 the RCAF needed a replacement for their Avro 504L seaplanes assigned to forest patrol and other light duties.
		G-CYGC was one of nine Viper (T.S. (two-seat) Patrol AVS (Avro Viper Seaplane) serving in the RCAF from 1925 to 1928, although this specific Aircraft suffered a Category A accident at Bowden Lake, Alberta and was struck off strength on 18 October, 1927.
		The water performance was found to be good on the other hand, and later when the Avro 504 NS seaplanes were ordered the same float installation was specified.

		A 150bhp version known as the Adder was initially fitted, but the much-improved 200bhp Viper was faster and more reliable; a number of planes with the original H-S engines had them replaced by the Viper.
		Post-war, large numbers of surplus or salvaged Viper engines were exported to Canada, where they were used in Avro 504-based planes for the Canadian airforce (built by Vickers' Canadian division) and, later, the Airspeed Oxford trainer plane.
		A version of the Viper engine was even fitted in one of Cierva's experimental Autogiro craft, one of the earliest helicopters.

		The "six-Viper test rig" was a self-contained enclosed outdoor stand which consisted of the central section of the saucer vehicle, a control room, fuel supply and exhaust ducting.

		The Canadian government started talking saucers with Avro Aircraft Limited, which had initiated a disk design program it called Project Y. Avro was an offshoot of the British firm A. Roe and Company, a member of the Hawker Siddeley Group.
		The goal was to combine the mobility and maneuverability of a jeep and a helicopter, without the former’s vulnerability to rough terrain or the latter’s awkwardness around ground-based structures.
		After assembling a prototype, Avro engineers dropped the “Viper 6” plan in favor of one having three Continental J69 turbojets within the hull, pointed at turbine blades around the edge of a central fan.

		The Viper was a ship like no other, 3 Ion Turbine Engines gave it thrice the speed of an Arwing, it held 2 medium heavy repeaters, 2 medium ion cannons, and the new class II heavy rockets.
		The Viper was built for space use only, so it was designed to use the zero friction void to it's maximun capacity; other fighters were designed to mimic atmospheric flight, so that if the pilot entered atmosphere, he wouldn't have to change his style of flight.
		Admiral Kre`frey grinned, the new 'Viper's' were proving their worth, because they were designed for space flight, the were so highly manuveralbe, the most shoddy pilot could fly circles around the most complexly programed Drone.

	Avrocar - TinWiki.org
		Project Y, named "Avro Ace" in company documents, was designed to ascend vertically and reach flight speeds of up to 1,500 mph.
		Tethered tests on the craft revealed that it was unable to lift off the ground more than four or five feet without being unstable, subsequent attempts were made to alter the design in an attempt to increase the stability of the craft but these were only marginally succesful.
		Avro company executives encouraged additional VTOL research projects, but no further interest resulted from Canadian or other sources, to cap the end to the Special Projects Group.

		And this is in fact the slowest Viper MT has ever tested to the standing mile (best was 30.1 seconds at 173 mph).
		I can tell you that the newest Viper engine has been increased by.3 liters and that the Vipers output has increased since itÂ’s debut but again IÂ’m not a mechanic so I wonÂ’t go any further.
		Or are Vipers the only ones that suffer horsepower loss while being modified.

		The original Viper engine was produced by Armstrong Siddeley (later Bristol Siddeley, and now Rolls-Royce) to a requirement for a 10-hour lifed small jet engine to be fitted to airborne target drones.
		The first generation Viper 3 engines produced 1,640 lbs of thrust at sea level and were built in Coventry mainly for use in Australia and Sweden, though some were supplied to the USA for "Bullgoose" decoy missile trials, and its basic simplicity is well illustrated in the picture below.
		Viper engines were also manufactured under licence in numerous overseas countries for fitting into a wide variety of aircraft.

		The seaplanes were operated out of Winnipeg and gave considerable trouble, often experiencing high oil temperatures for which the recommended procedure became to mount external oil tanks on each side of the nose for cooling, and retrofitting with the Reed-Curtiss metal propeller.

		The history of the Avro design is not followed in detail hereafter.
		June Ministry of Supply issued Specification (F.138D) calling for Spectre, (Rocket) and Viper (jet) engines, supersonic performance above 40,000 ft. and a subsonic cruising ceiling of not less than 70,000 ft. The rate of climb and endurance originally specified were slightly relaxed, mainly because of the limitations imposed by the external carriage of Blue Jay.
		The D.R.P.C. decided that for reasons of economy, either the Avro or the Saunders Roe development should be stopped.
